The individual record shown below is of one of our researcher's
ancestors. In this example we have been able to trace the three main
events in the person's lives - birth, marriage and death. The amount of
information gleaned on each event varies and is a good example of the wealth of
data that can be obtained from the Statutory Records compared with the much
lesser information recorded in the Old Parish Records. Elizabeth's birth
was pre Statutory Records, whilst her marriage and death came after the
Statutory Records were introduced. In fact we are lucky in this case, as
her marriage took place in the very year that the Statutory Records started.
